Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United are reportedly interested in Luke Freeman of Queens Park Rangers.
Leeds United have been linked with Luke Freeman, and the Queens Park Rangers star’s opinion of Marcelo Bielsa’s side underlines just how highly he rates them.
According to talkSPORT, Leeds are interested in singing Freeman from Championship rivals QPR in the summer transfer window.
The 27-year-old, who can also operate as a winger, has said that Leeds – and Sheffield United and Norwich City, both of whom won automatic promotion to the Premier League – have been the two hardest teams he faced in the Championship this season.
Freeman told World Football Index: “It has been a bit of a funny season in all honesty. You can play some really good teams on their day, but I would definitely say it has been Leeds United and Norwich City.”
The attacking midfielder added: “I think back to playing Leeds United at Elland Road in the middle of the season, and they were excellent.
“Three months ago we played them at Loftus Road and we ended up beating them 1-0, of course they are still a good team.
“I would definitely say that Leeds and Sheffield United on their day have been difficult to play against.”
Good signing for Leeds United?
Freeman is a very good attacking player who has extensive experience of playing in the Championship, and the 27-year-old is at the right age to step up from QPR to Leeds.
The former Arsenal prospect made 43 appearances in the Championship for QPR this season, scoring seven goals and providing six assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
During the 2017-18 campaign, Freeman made 43 starts and two substitute appearances in the Championship for Rangers, scoring five goals and providing 12 assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
